Inspired by the timeless portraits of Hollywood greats such as Rita Hayworth, Greta Garbo and Marilyn Monroe, Stefano Brunesci first began photographing women at the age of 13. After a short diversion into travel and landscape photography in his late teens, Stefano returned to his first passion, editorial fashion, in 2007.

Although a convert to digital and a strong supporter of its benefits, Stefano prefers to keep his use of photoshop to a minimum and often publishes entirely un-retouched work in the belief that passion and connection with the subject is the most important aspect of any photograph. As he says: “When you photograph a woman you’re capturing a moment in her life…  You can’t fake that with any software.”
